Surgical Treatment

See what we actually do in surgery here! This section has descriptions of the arthroscopic surgical procedures that are done for throwing and some other athletic-related injuries. There are many photographs of actual torn tissue being repaired. This section is also useful for orthopedic surgeon education.
